(MLB) Oakland vs. Toronto, 08/11/2015 3:07 PM, Score: 2 - 4
Money Line: -185.00 Toronto (Home)
Result: Win
This is a Free #MLB play on the Toronto Blue #Jays.

The Blue Jays are by far the highest scoring team in baseball, and they are on a roll, coming off eight straight wins. I think they'll extend that run tonight, in spite of the fact that they are sending a struggling pitcher to the mound.

Drew Hutchison will toe the slab for the home team, and he's been getting rocked in the second half of the season. Hutchison (10-2, 5.42 ERA) was torched for seven runs on seven hits over just five innings in a no decision at home versus the Twins his last time out. He has a record of 2-0 in four starts since the All Star break, but it comes with an inflated 5.85 ERA.

The A's hand the ball to Kendall Graveman, who was rocked by the Blue Jays in Oakland a few weeks ago. Graveman (6-7, 3.90 ERA) was torched for six runs on six hits, including three home runs over just 5 1/3 innings in a 7-1 home loss on July 21. The right-hander has lost five straight, and his ERA is an unsightly 6.16 in four starts in the second half.

Josh Donaldson hit his 31st home run of the season on Sunday, and he leads the majors with 83 RBIs. He's done most of the damage at Rogers Center, where he's batting .344 with 20 home runs and 50 RBIs.

Take TOR.
